Cancer-adjacent samples from the TCGA BRCA cohort was used to estimate the prognostic value of our findings. Each cancer-adjacent sample from the TCGA was assigned to a transcriptomic subtype. Patients allocated to the metabolic risk group have a worse prognosis relative to patients in all other risk groups (log-rank p < 0.001, hazard ratio 5.8). The hazard ratio was estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model, and curves were compared using a log-rank test.
